2026/07/21

The federal government just gutted key protections for endangered species, handing habitat oversight to states — a move wildlife experts warn could be disastrous. For decades, federal law blocked projects that destroyed critical habitats like forests and wetlands, but now “harm” is narrowly defined as direct injury to animals, ignoring the real threat: habitat loss. With most states underfunded and lacking the legal tools to enforce habitat protections, this shift risks unraveling conservation

Mary Peltola is dominating the Alaska Senate race financially, pulling in nearly $7 million—three times what incumbent Dan Sullivan raised—mostly from small donors, while Sullivan leaned on PACs. Peltola spent over $6.5 million on digital ads and media, leaving her with less cash on hand as the primary nears, while Sullivan spent less than $800,000. Despite the money gap, history shows it’s not a sure win: Peltola once outraised and lost, and Sullivan won reelection despite being outspent in

2026/07/20

U.S. lawmakers are reviving a long-stalled effort to ban voice calls on airplanes with the “Quiet Skies Act,” giving the FAA 180 days to enforce a rule that would silence in-flight phone chatter across all domestic carriers. As high-speed Wi-Fi like Starlink makes calls from 30,000 feet possible, flight crews and travelers alike fear the noise disruption in tightly packed cabins. While some international airlines embrace in-flight calls, most U.S. travelers and attendants still want peace and

A federal judge has slapped a two-week (possibly longer) pause on the $81 billion Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger, giving 12 states crucial time to argue it would crush Hollywood competition, leaving audiences with fewer movie and TV choices.

Attorneys general hail this as a major victory, citing history that mega-mergers often lead to worse
